Estes Twin Factor #7250, Build, Part 7, Shroud Gluing



It takes very little glue to adhere card stock to card stock.
Just be sure there is glue on all the contact points.








After the edge sanding/tapering in the last step,

Notice the fit of the tapered disk fitting into the outside shroud edge. 
Pinch and slide your fingers around the sides until the glue takes hold. Try to get the fit as even as you can. 

If I didn't do the tapering, the disk might end up being an "end to end" edge instead of sitting inside the shroud lip.


While the glue is still wet, 
Run a burnisher around the edge smoothing out the joint. Go all the way around the rings applying a light even pressure.






Double check the fit at the shroud joint and smooth it out.
